A cyclonic storm, named Dana, intensified into a severe cyclonic storm over east-central Bay of Bengal and is expected to make landfall along Odisha coast.

Authorities in Odisha and West Bengal have entered a state of high alert as cyclonic storm 'Dana' is likely to form in the Bay of Bengal.

CM N Chandrababu Naidu has urged state officials to remain vigilant as heavy rainfall continues to affect various regions, particularly Nellore.

The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) has forecast heavy to very heavy rainfall in Tamil Nadu from October 12 to 16. This weather pattern is attributed to a new cyclonic circulation expected to form over the Bay of Bengal on Saturday.

According to the ministry of defense, an examination of photos taken by the National Institute of Ocean Technology's autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) has confirmed that the debris is indeed the remains of an AN-32 aircraft.

The weather system was expected to intensify into a deep depression by 5.30 am on Wednesday and turn into Cyclone Mocha in the next 12 hours, packing wind speeds of 80-90 kmph and gusting to 100 kmph.
